Dallas Weldon Clark's Obituary
At 6:30 a.m. on April 27, 2024, our father, Dallas Weldon Clark, left this world to be with his eternal companion, our mom, Audrey Lee Martin. Words truly cannot express what a great blessing he was to all of us. His strength, kindness and love touched the lives of so many.
Our dad had many talents and skills, however, we can’t emphasize enough how very unassuming he was. He didn’t draw attention to himself, boast, or impose himself on anyone. He was calm and measured. He rarely lost his temper. He was a solid person, with a good sense of humor.
He answered the call to serve his Country as a pilot in the United States Air Force. In civilian life, he served troubled youth as a Bexar County probation officer and then as a parole officer/manager for the Texas Youth Council. He also developed skills to overhaul automobile engines to provide extra income for his large family.
Our dad graduated from the University of Utah and for an advanced degree, attended Sam Houston State in Texas.
He held many positions in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and was a devout and active member.
